The fault early warning module issues early warnings and records fault information according to a preset method. The data is synchronously stored in the local database and uploaded to the monitoring center. The remote monitoring module supports B / S architecture access. The data storage and management module stores data according to a daily automatic backup mechanism, and the backup is retained for 3 months. The report generation function supports the output of basic operation reports on a periodic basis. Example 1: Sensor System Deployment: PT100 temperature sensors are embedded in three key locations of the auxiliary transformer for heavy-haul railway locomotives: the middle of the high-voltage winding and the end of the low-voltage winding. A FLIR A315 thermal imaging sensor is installed on the top of the cabinet to monitor the surface temperature distribution in real time. A high-precision current transformer (rated current 5A, accuracy 0.2S class) is connected in series in the primary power supply circuit of the transformer, and a voltage transformer (turn ratio 10000 / 100V, accuracy 0.5 class) is connected in parallel on the secondary side. At the same time, a partial discharge sensor and a DC resistance tester are installed at the insulating oil sampling port and the winding lead terminals, respectively. The data acquisition module uses Advantech ADAM-6017, with a sampling frequency set to 5kHz, and a 256GB industrial-grade SSD is configured as a cache. The 5G transmission module uses Huawei ME909s-821, and data security is achieved through the AES-256 encryption protocol. Control system operation: When the freight train travels to the Northwest Gobi Desert section, the sensor detects that the temperature of the transformer phase winding rises sharply from 65°C to 85°C within 2 hours, exceeding the 75°C warning threshold.

The remaining life prediction results are output in a three-dimensional mode, and the health level corresponds to a clear parameter threshold range. The life prediction results are output in a three-dimensional mode in the following format: quantified value + health level + decline rate. The quantified value is in monthly units, the health level includes excellent, good, moderate, poor, and critical, and the decline rate is in % / month.

Weighting coefficients =0.6 (LSTM model weights), 1- =0.4 (XGBoost model weights); Training dataset: Factory rated parameters of the same model transformer: initial insulation resistance 1000MΩ, initial winding resistance 0.02Ω, temperature threshold 75℃; Individual historical data: Operating data of this locomotive over the past 2 years (cumulative 8000 hours), 3 minor fault records (2 instances of insulation dampness, 1 instance of winding overheating); Real-time data acquisition frequency: 5kHz (key parameters such as temperature and voltage), 1kHz (environmental and operating condition parameters); The health level thresholds are shown in the table below:

[0038] RUL algorithm parameters: safety factor =1.2, operating load factor =0.62 (converted from average load rate), Environmental Impact Factor =0.35 (Combined calculation of temperature, humidity and vibration), weighting coefficient =0.3、 =0.2; The iteration triggering conditions are as follows: Excellent or Good: Accumulated 300 hours of valid data or one instance of abnormal parameter fluctuation triggering an iteration; Medium or Poor: 50 hours of accumulated valid data or two consecutive non-correlated anomalies triggering an iteration; Danger: Real-time iteration (model parameters are updated every 10 minutes); Manual calibration weight: 30% (fault handling results and component test data entered by maintenance personnel); Parameter correlation verification: Pearson correlation coefficient ; Sensor self-diagnosis: coefficient of variation ; Historical data comparison: deviation rate ≤10%; Implementation process and results: During a certain period, the sensing system collected the following data: Real-time operating parameters: winding temperature 78℃, insulation resistance 280MΩ, winding resistance 0.023Ω (attenuation 15%), current 320A, voltage 25kV; Environmental and operating parameters: ambient temperature 32℃, cabinet vibration 0.25g, traction load rate 78%; Anomaly detection process: Parameter correlation verification: Calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient between winding temperature and current. =0.72 (≥0.6), the association is considered valid; Sensor self-diagnosis: 10 sets of temperature sensor data (76℃, 77℃, 78℃, 77℃, 79℃, 78℃, 79℃, 80℃, 78℃, 77℃), average value. =77.9℃, standard deviation =1.1℃, coefficient of variation =1.41% (≤5%), sensor is normal; Historical data comparison: The average insulation resistance for the same period in history was 305 MΩ, and the current value was 280 MΩ. The deviation rate was approximately 8.2% (≤10%), based on |280-305|÷305. The data is valid.

The warning message stated: "Auxiliary transformer health level 'Medium', remaining lifespan 4.1 months, degradation rate 2.1% / month; it is recommended to schedule a shutdown for maintenance within one month, focusing on replacing the insulating oil, optimizing the cooling air duct, and controlling the traction load rate to no more than 70%." Based on this recommendation, the maintenance team conducted a shutdown for maintenance before the deadline. After replacing the insulating oil, the insulation resistance recovered to 380MΩ, the health level rose to "Good", and the remaining lifespan prediction was updated to 8.3 months, verifying the accuracy of the system's diagnosis and prediction.

Health level is medium or poor: 50 hours of valid data or two consecutive iterations triggered by unrelated anomalies; Health level is critical: Model parameters are updated iteratively in real time; During the iteration process, manually entered maintenance records and fault verification results are weighted at 30% for calibration, as shown in the following formula: in, For the updated model parameters, For iterative calculation of parameters, The calibration parameters were manually verified. The intelligent verification and deployment optimization of abnormal data adopts a triple verification mechanism, as follows: Parameter correlation verification: Parameter consistency is judged based on the Pearson correlation coefficient, as shown in the following formula: The association is deemed valid; Sensor self-diagnosis: Monitoring sensor signal stability and coefficient of variation The sensor was determined to be normal. Indicates the sample standard deviation. This represents the sample mean; Historical data comparison: Calculate the deviation rate between the current data and the historical data for the same period. If: Then it is determined to be valid, where, This is the average value of the parameter over a historical period.
